We had a little dachshund dog
We treated it very badly
We used it as a footstool
It died, very sadly
We had a cat, a tabby cat
We treated it very badly
We used it to keep the draft out
It died, very sadly
Toes turned up, toes turned up
There's no dignity in going out that way
Toes turned up, toes turned up
In the vain hope of a better afterlife
In the vain hope of a better afterlife
We had a tortoise, shiny and slow
We treated it very badly
We used it as a doorstop
It died, very sadly
We had a hamster, fluffy and round
We treated it very badly
We used it as a shuttlecock
It died, very sadly
Toes turned up, toes turned up
There's no dignity in going out that way
Toes turned up, toes turned up
In the vain hope of a better afterlife
In the vain hope of a better afterlife
